Lincoln City shooting probe continues

LINCOLN CITY — The drive-by shooting on West Devils Lake Road last Saturday night that left a 27-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the leg remains under investigation by police.

“We’re making progress every day,” asserted Detective Bud Lane of the Lincoln City Police Department, who declined to give further details.

Jamie Philpot and a companion were walking in an uninhabited area south of the hospital near NE 22nd Street when a white, four-door sedan pulled alongside the pair. Both stated to police that an occupant opened up with “multiple shots” from a handgun.
